While not a direct translation, it shares the concept of flowing or dripping, similar to the imagery associated with עָרִיף in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The word עָרִיף is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the sky or clouds, often in relation to weather phenomena such as rain. It is a poetic term that emphasizes the aspect of the sky as a source of rain. Context: The Hebrew word עָרִיף (ʿārîp̱) appears in the context of describing the sky, particularly in its role as a bringer of rain. This term is used in poetic and prophetic literature to evoke imagery of the heavens as a source of life-giving water. The root עָרַף (ʿārap̱) suggests the action of dripping or dropping, which aligns with the depiction of the sky as a source of rain. In the ancient Near Eastern context, rain was seen as a blessing from God, essential for agriculture and survival. Thus, the use of עָרִיף in the biblical text often carries connotations of divine provision and blessing. The imagery of the sky dripping with rain is a powerful symbol of God's sustenance and care for His creation.
